Sadāpūta: The geologists say that in different points of the strata . . . like they give different names for the strata, and in one strata they say that there is one kind of animal remains to be found, and in another strata they say you can find the remains of a different kind of animal. So they say this shows evolution.
Prabhupāda: Anyway, it takes millions of years. So how they say five thousand years?
Sadāpūta: Well, no one really believes the Christians.
Rūpānuga: They are laughed at, actually. The scientists, how far do they say? Five hundred million?
Sadāpūta: The scientists say it goes back six hundred million years.
Prabhupāda: That is also imperfect. If we study Brahmā's day, it will be all . . . Brahmā's day is, one day equal to forty-three hundred thousands of years multiplied by thousand. That is Brahmā's one day. So thirty days, one month; and twelve months equal to year, such hundred years. Your mathematics will fail to figure out. Is it not? (laughter)
Rūpānuga: (indistinct comments) There is a slide of this, but we did not show you. The idea is that this is the beginning of Brahmā's day up to present, Vaivasvata Manu. This is the beginning of time according to them. They can't explain anything up to here. They say here, in the middle of the day of Raivata Manu, they begin their Cambrian Age.
Prabhupāda: No, why Raivata Manu? They are imperfect.
Rūpānuga: (indistinct) . . . we're here, and this is the previous Manu, and before him the other Manu, and it's back here that they say their geological records begin.
Prabhupāda: Whatever they say, whatever we say, which one is correct? Who will say?
Rūpānuga: We will say. We are correct.
Prabhupāda: You'll say; they will say: "I am correct."
Rūpānuga: Then the reader must decide.
